Tripoli, April 14, 2026 (LANA) – The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) confirmed the continued progress of the economic track within the structured dialogue, with the drafting of the outcome document underway following the completion of discussions on key issues related to transparency and accountability.

In a statement published on its official page on Tuesday, the Mission explained that the track sessions, held in Tripoli over four days last week, addressed vital issues including fiscal and monetary policies, the exchange rate, and trade policies, with the aim of reaching integrated approaches to support the restoration of economic stability in the country.

The meetings saw the participation of experts from the African Development Bank and Chatham House, who delivered specialized technical presentations. The recommendations of the Libyan Women's Forum, which focused on strengthening economic governance and activating comprehensive oversight mechanisms, were also utilized. A volunteer from the Youth Outreach Team contributed to conveying the outcomes of the discussions to young people and raising their awareness of the importance of the structured dialogue, according to the same source.

The meetings were attended by the two Deputy Special Representatives of the Secretary-General: Ulrika Richardson, the Resident Coordinator, and Stephanie Khoury, the Political Affairs Officer. Participants stressed the need to consider political challenges when developing practical measures to preserve purchasing power and support overall stability.

In this context, Richardson emphasized that managing the country’s wealth is a pressing priority, noting the importance of reinvesting revenues in the education, health, and infrastructure sectors to ensure that all Libyans benefit from national resources. She also called for a more balanced and transparent approach to revenue distribution and for urgently addressing the outflow of illicit funds from the country.
